God! Today was a stupid day. The bus was late and the entire system crashed at work and we ended up having to write out everything by hand, and my God, what part of "the system is down" gives people problems?

It's very, very good. With any kids movie, there's always a danger that the casting director is going to go with cuteness rather than ability, but every one of the kids pays his weight in the acting department. Jasper Harris gets special mention, for really making me believe that here was a kid who could melt adults hearts with his smile and his blonde curly hair. It would have been so easy for him to slip over the line where the character just became annoying, but he was so adorable even I wanted to hug him. Also George MacKay, who had a small role as Curly in the 2003 Peter Pan movie, really brings Ricco's abrasive, bratty charm to life ( ... )

I'll definitely have to check it out. I can't believe how much that Rollo Weeks has grown up though. It's almost as surreal as it was when I saw that kid from the Sixth Sense now he's older - weird.

Or Ickle Modshipman Blakeney... although he's all fugly now, whereas I suspect Rollo Weeks will improve with age.

Seeing him trying to be all badass in Rome was surreal. I think that you'll be right about Rollo Weeks.

I fear I must quote the ineffable wisdom of Brother Johnathan: "He's only got one arm! How's he going to rule an Empire?"
